Regarding the arguments about beauty pageants and sports. I think its the atmosphere that that builds the child up or beats the child down. That is true no matter where you go.
There are many great pageant systems out there that will NOT tolerate the psycho pageant moms you see on TV, bad sportsmanship, and have strict rules about make up, and the enhancements. (Put a few DCFS officials in some of the dressing rooms, and there would be a big change REAL quick!). Even the good glitz pageant systems are very strict about how the girls are treated and sportsmanship.
I was in sports when I was a kid; I never did pageants. I competed in nationals. Same was true here. There were some tournaments ranging from Tennis to TaeKwonDo that were a great experience and others that were horrible because of the parents/coaches/etc. (Although in TaeKwonDo, the parents wont get into a fist fight with the judges/referees!)
